Hello Cousin - I am also a descendant of William Spears and Agnes Wallace. They are buried at Rocky River Presbyterian Church in Cabarrus County, NC. William was a Revolutionary War soldier. It is said the British burned down his house. I am a descendant through their daughter Agnes who married William H. Archibald. yes- the Spears and Archibalds were slave owners - and children were born in both families as a result of union between slaves and owners/family. It is difficult for some people to talk about it. My elderly great aunts never would discuss that time period - they found it too painful. I find I need to know. They saw the times through their lens and we tend to look at them through ours...and that often does not give an accurate view. So, I am happy to tackle the tough issues because we need to. We don't know much about William Spears except he and his wife were Scottish and they received land grants from Gov. Dobbs. They were quite wealthy. Too bad none of it ever came to us, eh? LOL. I'd love to hear if you have found more info since this was posted. God bless. 2016-07-15 12:56:02Zroger_hudsonhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2385.1/mb.ashxRe: GRIMES/SPEARS/SPEERShttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/234.567.1.1.1.1.3/mb.ashx

SOURCE: Jacksonville Florida Times-Union Nov 7, 1915<br>P.M. Spears Dead<br>Tallahassee, Nov. 7.- The death Saturday afternoon of P M Spears, came as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances in this city and the enjoining county of Wakulla, where he was born and spent his early life. Although the deceased had suffered for some months with diabetes, he had within the last few weeks improved wonderfully, having gained in weight more than twenty pounds, and he and his family felt encouraged for his recovery. In fact he had so much improved that he gad gone on a fishing trip to the southern part of his native county the first part of the week. But while on this trip he ate some fish, or other food that poisoned his system, possibly ptomaine poison, and was rushed back to his home in the city Friday in a serious condition. His physician was at once called, but was unable to relive him of his suffering to which he succumbed Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock.<br>2015-07-29 14:49:52ZBarbaraCox147http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2388/mb.ashxRe: THOMAS SPEARShttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2383.1/mb.ashx
Hi, I am a descendant of Thomas Spears and Rutha Lane. Re his parents, Spencer Spears, Sr., married Tabitha/Talitha Young, widow of Fountain Young, in Floyd County, KY, on or about June 24, 1816 (See Kozee's Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky, p. 52; Wells's Annals of Floyd County, Kentucky, 1800-1826, pp 149 and 299). Thomas's mother was not Tabitha Young. Some sources identify Thomas's mother as Mirea/Merea, but I have not seen any documentation proving that. <br><br>Thomas's death date is assumed to be 1843 : <br>Floyd Co, KY, Deed Book E-161: Rutha Spears, wife of Thomas Spears, deceased, and all of the heirs of Thomas Spears (Spencer Spears, Enoch Spears, William Spears, Nancy Auxier, Sintha Collins, Wiley Spears, Samuel Spears, Abraham Spears, and Fanny Spears, all of Johnson Co, and Joseph Franklin of Floyd Co) sold to William Gobble; $25 for 100 acres [obtained] by virtue of a Kentucky land office warrant. (7/10/1843 was date admitted to office of Edwin Grimble; deed was dated only 1843)<br><br>Floyd Co, KY, Deed Book F-170: The heirs of Thomas and Ruth Spears relinquished claim for $1 to a section of land involving Singleton Flannery in a deed dated 5/18/1852. This land perhaps had been previously deeded to Singleton Flanary by Enoch Spears and others. The heirs named in the body of the deed were Enoch Spears, Cynthia Collins late Cynthia Spears, Christopher Collins, Wiley Spears Sr, Samuel Spears, Abraham Spears, Fanny Spears, Nancy Auxier and William Auxier, William Spears and Rutha Spears his widow. Also named were the heirs of Spencer Spears deceased.<br><a href="http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&amp;db=marciamcclure&amp;id=I8269" target="_blank">http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&amp;d...</a><br><br>Rutha's death date is unknown.

William and Agnes were my 3rd or Fourth Grandparents..Parents of William Wallace Spears and he was married to Elizabeth Jane Gilmor. There are so many different sets of Spears. Some of the Spears Family are of African American decent...because William Spears and son William Wallace Spears were also slave owners and had babies with the female slaves. My grandfather Arthur James Spears, Sr. was the son of Daniel Spears whose father was William Spears, born in N.C. however died in Hardeman, TN. Daniel's mother's name was Matilda Spears. The slaves took on the last names of their owners. <br><br>In light of this history, I am researching to complete the information of my family's history. I basically have uncovered all of the necessary information, with exception of filling in the missing piece of William Spears, born 1780 in Cabarrus County, N.C. and died February 2, 1853 in Hardeman, TN. Some Family Trees indicate that William Wallace Spears and Elizabeth Jane Gilmer were his parents. I do know that they had a son named William Nelson Spears, but I believe as indicated they had two children named William Spears and in addition some of their children bear the last name of MAnuity. I am only interested in filling in the missing pieces of my heritage as I am an African American and my maiden name/Family name is Spears. <br><br>I am aware that there are some people that do not want to acknowledge that their ancestors were slave owners and had children with some of their female slaves. However, I am only interested in tracing my bloodline and filling in the blanks of my family history and would appreciate any information that anyone may have regarding William Spears born 1780 in Cabarrus County, N.C. and died in Hardenman, TN on February 1, 1853.<br><br>Respectfully,2015-04-07 02:49:17ZNubionQueen59http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2385/mb.ashxI might know herhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2384/mb.ashx

Hi William,<br>I have just begun my search with the Spears family. My husband, Stuart, is a Spears. There are a lot of bits and pieces that I am trying to connect, but I have VERY little because only "Uncle ___", "Cousin _____" did so and so, and such and such. <br>Anyway, what I do have so far is: Stuart Spears (my husband), Robert Sentell Spears (his father), Harvey Grover Spears (Robert's father), Wade H. Spears (Grover's father). That's where it breaks apart for me. I have Wade H. Spears married to a Lucinda/Lucindy, with children Lassie Lee (Lacie Lee b. 1900)-married a Walter Spivey; Estill Spears b.1904, married Bettie Selph; Susie Spears b. 1905; Harvey Grover b. 1907, married Ollie Lavinia Martin; and Lula Mae Spears b. 1911.<br>Do you have any of these people in your tree?

As far as I can tell Wade's family lived in the Vidalia, GA area for some time. I believe the 1880 census shows a John B. and Lizzie Spears with a son Wade H. Spears and a cousin Moses. Am I on the right track? If so, do you know anything about this Wade H. Spears and/or John B or Lizzie?2015-01-12 18:11:43ZBobbyMary57http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/282.309.1/mb.ashxMatthew Spears - Lancashire, England 1789-1870http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2380/mb.ashx

Wan to go Cuz. I had to take a break on my efforts trying to find out what Fielder's dad John M Spears dad's name was. I've looked for data online via Death Records, Birth Records and even tried to find Mary living with one of her kids.. Still no success. All I know is that my 2 great grandfather and grandmother seemed to have completely disappeared.

I just sent you some emails to your personal email address. My brother and I were lucky enough to get a government worker to pull out the old hand written records. We were unable to find the burial information for Fielding- he is not next to his wife "Sarah" unless his hedgestone was removed. I cannot find anyone who is the caretaker of the cemetery. <br><br>Hope you are well. <br>You cousin,<br>Mary2014-11-03 19:48:20Zfitzgirlsmishttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2289.2.3.1/mb.ashxSarah Spears In Missouri &amp; Florence Mcculley http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2379/mb.ashx

I am so excited to get this message from you! We MUST be related! We do not have contact with any family from my grandfather Spears side of the family! I would love to meet you sometime to compare information and to share what we both have! The funny thing about Phetan/Fielding and Lutecia Cleek- they both seem to vanish. I have never found death or divorce information for her, and have him being married to a "Sarah". I found her tomb down around Richmond area but not Lutecia or Fielding. We were lucky to stumble upon a kind worker who pulled out the old old book and found a death record for Fielding.<br>Are you in Indiana? I live up near Muncie now.

Yes William who was my GGrandfather. His full name was William Pope Spears.<br><br>I believe as you that Maga (Maggie Fielding) died giving birth to Ellen Spears in 1861. John married Mary E Logan 1866. Mary was 20 years old when she married John M Spears. John Y.

I think this Fielding or Fielden or Phetan...was my Great-grandfather...I saw in your family tree my grandmother who was Ida Elizabeth Spears Stapleton...it had her birth and death correct...she died in Pershing Indiana...there was a picture of this Fielden Spears...and picture said written on back was Robert Spears which I know was my grandmothers brother. She was buried in Cambridge City, Indiana...I think the Spears are buried somewhere in the Richmond Indiana area....my grandparents...John W Stapleton and Ida Elizabeth Spears shows their parents names listed in historical Indiana marriage indexes..shows John W's father as George and Mother as Delilah and Ida's as Phetan and Lutecia Spears....her last name as Cleek I think...you know how all this goes...by now...I know nothing about this side of my family prior to John and Ida except that they both came from Virginia, Scott County....I have never heard anything about any slaves but I have heard about Native American ancestry....the lady in the picture very much looks like my grandmother, and her daughters as well as myself and my sisters...so I figure she must be in our line somewhere...2014-10-29 23:51:33ZDianeRipbergerhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2289.2.2.1.2/mb.ashxSPEARS Barbara Jo http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/2378/mb.ashx

Spears--Lavaca County, Texashttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3.1.1.1/mb.ashx
I don't have any connection to J. F. Spears. If you check my posting history, you will notice that I have made a lot of requests about Confederate officers from Texas. I have done research in Lavaca County. However, it is a long way from where I live. I had considered writing a biographical sketch about J. F. Spears, but it does not appear that he was promoted to Major of his reserve battalion. The information about him being in the reserves can be found in his service record for the Lavaca County Minutemen and also in the Official Records of the Civil War (Series I, Volume 48, Part I, page 1368). 2014-06-27 02:11:28ZJamesEWilliams40http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: J.F. Spears--Lavaca County, Texashttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3.1.1/mb.ashx
Thank you for the additional information. I didn't know the information about 1864 and 1865. One thing that I have found for certain about Lavaca County Courthouse records is that there are many mistakes such as misspellings and leaving things out. A few years back I spent the day browsing through there files (that was fun) and one thing I managed to get is my grandfathers birth certificate where his name is listed as Eldridge Hagen (name was James Eldridge Hogan) with the mother's name Mary Spears (correct) and the father's name Clyde T. Hagen (wrong again - Clyde T. Hogan). That is just one example. Sure makes it hard if you don't have other things to back up information. What makes this more interesting is that I do have ancestors with the last name of Hagen in that area as well! I haven't gotten far enough to find out if these were all intermingled. No one ever said this was easy work. <br><br>It is interesting about Joe Sie Spears. I remember my great uncle (Kenneth Hogan grandson of Daniel Wallace Spears) called him Uncle Sy. Their tombstones are on find a grave. About a year before my great uncle died he took me on a tour of the cemeteries in that area that my ancestors are buried in and told the stories he could remember. After we were through with the cemeteries we met with Dorothy Spears Moore who is the grandaughter of Daniel Wallace Spears and we looked at a bunch of pictures. This was about 10 years ago when I first got started in genealogy so I didn't know all the good questions to ask. They are both gone now, but they sure were full of stories.<br><br>Somehow in all of this I missed your relationship. Do you live around Lavaca County? Would love to know. <br><br>Take care,<br>Michelle2014-06-26 22:33:50Zxcape1http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3.1.1/mb.ashxRe: J.F. Spears--Lavaca County, Texashttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3.1/mb.ashx
Thanks for posting the information about J. F. Spears. Since he was a Mason, the Grand Lodge in Waco should have his exact death date. Joshua F. Spears married Adeline Miles on July 17, 1855 in Lavaca County, Texas. There is also a marriage record of Mrs. Delian Spears to B. A. Ragsdale on October 20, 1868 in Lavaca County, Texas. The online list of Lavaca County marriages does not show either of these marriages. The death certificate for Joe Sie Spears gives the names of his parents as Josway Spears and Adeale Miles. The death certificate for Daniel Wallace Spears shows his parents as Jeff Spears and [illegible] Ann Miles. J. F. Spears was also a Justice of the Peace in Lavaca County. His last military service was in the Texas Reserve Corps as a Captain in 1864 and 1865.2014-06-26 20:01:34ZJamesEWilliams40http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3.1/mb.ashxRe: J.F. Spears--Lavaca County, Texashttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3/mb.ashx
Hello, I probably have as many questions as I have answers about J.F. Spears. I am trying to find out if he was married to my gr gr gr grandmother Adelia Spears so I have been trying to find out all that I can about him. My ancestors from this line are James Hogan (grand father) son of Mary Ora Spears (gr grandmother) daughter of Daniel Wallace Spears son of Adelia Spears.<br><br>I hope I am able to give you a little new information. I also do not know where he is buried. I am attaching the muster rolls, census and additional census records.<br><br>What I have gathered so far:<br>1. When I visited the Lavaca County Courthouse many years ago he was listed as the 4th judge on a plaque they have there serving 1860-1862.<br>2. 1860 census has him as age 42 from South Caroline and in household with Adelia Spears (21yr from Missouri), Josiah Spears (4 or 6 yrs) and Danial Wallace Spears.<br>3. 1 have found three muster roll images so far from him:<br> A. Spears, J.F. Company C, 24th Brigade, TST; Age 46; Nativity SC; Post office Sweet Home<br> B. Spears, J.F. PVT Militia of Lavaca County 25th brigade. Genl W.H. Woodward, cmdg. CSA Feb1867; 47 yrs.<br> C. Spears, J.F. Captain Lavaca County Minutemen, Texas Calvary<br>4. tamu.edu/faculty/ccbn/dewitt/freelavaca2.htm says "The Lone Star Guards, as the county unit was called, were commanded by Major J. F. Spears. In 1863, while he still commanded the Beat No. 3 Company, Livergood enlisted as a private in Spears' Company, Company C, 24th Regiment, Texas State Troops, for six months; on September 25, 1863, he enlisted for another six months period in Company D of the same regiment commanded by Captain John R. Borden, and trained at Camp Terry in Jackson County."<br>5. This site lists him as a Mason and states his death was 1865.<br>6. He is on this list <a href="http://www.texasranger.org/ReCenter/captains.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.texasranger.org/ReCenter/captains.pdf</a><br>7. He is listed on the 1860 production of agriculture census as having 15 improved acres and 415 <br>unimproved acres with cash value of 2500. Value of machines 20, 2 horses, 30 milk cows, 6 working oxen, 200 other cattle and 12 swine with livestock value of 1500. It is also listed that 300 bushels of Indian Corn and ginned cotton, bales of 400 pounds each was 4.<br><br>The reason that I am questioning if he was actually my 3g grandfather is that a family story about that family that says Adelia, her husband, sons and slaves were moving to Texas on a land grand to settle Texas. My great uncle said that on the way the husband died on the wagon trail and was buried along the way, but then I see J.F. on a census with Adelia. Was he the father or brother of her late husband or was he actually her husband and the story is wrong. There is also a story of one of the Spears going out one night to fight (can't remember if he said Indians) and never came back. I sure would like to be able to put this very nice man in my tree somewhere and I am hoping that you have more information for me.<br>2014-06-25 20:39:33Zxcape1http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spears/1068.3/mb.ashxSpears, looking for any relation to a WST Spears b.Indinana 1847, m.
